Dombey and Son

Charles Dickens

Returns to the text of the first volume edition of 1848.

Dombey and Son is both a firm and a family and the ambiguous connection between public and private life lies at the heart of Dickens’ novel.
Paul Dombey is a man who runs his domestic affairs as he runs his business- calculatingly, callously, coldly and commercially. Through his dysfunctional relationships with his son, his two wives, and his neglected daughter Florence, Dickens paints a vivid picture of the limitations of a society dominated by commercial values and the drive for profit andexplores the possibility of moral and emotional redemption through familial love.
